Abstract
In general, 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety is much less common in the synthesis and applications in comparison to its regioisomeric counterpart. Moreover, the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are not so straightforward as is the case for copper catalyzed strategy of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The preparation of 1,5-triazolylated carbohydrates and nucleosides are even more complex because of the difficulties in accessing the appropriate starting materials as well as the compatibility of reaction conditions with the various protecting groups. 1,5-Disubstitution regioisomeric triazoles of carbohydrates and nucleosides were traditionally obtained as minor products through straightforward heating of the mixture of azides and terminal alkynes. However, the separation of isomers was tedious or in some cases futile. On the other hand, regioselective synthesis using ruthenium catalysis triggered serious concern of residual metal content in therapeutically important ingredients. Therefore, serious efforts are being made by several groups to develop non-toxic metal based or completely metal-free synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. This article strives to summarize the pre-Click era as well as the post-2001 reports on the synthesis and potential applications of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in biological systems.

Abstract
The nucleotidase ISN1 is a potential therapeutic target of the purine salvage pathway of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We identified PfISN1 ligands by in silico screening of a small library of nucleos(t)ide analogues and by thermal shift assays. Starting from a racemic cyclopentyl carbocyclic phosphonate scaffold, we explored the diversity on the nucleobase moiety and also proposed a convenient synthetic pathway to access the pure enantiomers of our initial hit (compound (±)-2). 2,6-Disubstituted purine containing derivatives such as compounds 1, (±)-7e and β-L-(+)-2 showed the most potent inhibition of the parasite in vitro, with low micromolar IC50 values. These results are remarkable considering the anionic nature of nucleotide analogues, which are known to lack activity in cell culture experiments due to their scarce capacity to cross cell membranes. For the first time, we report the antimalarial activity of a carbocyclic methylphosphonate nucleoside with an L-like configuration.

Abstract
Two new families of enantiomerically pure carbocyclic nucleoside analogues based on a cyclohexane moiety with five chiral centers and a fused cyclopropyl ring have been synthesized. A highly regio- and stereoselective synthetic approach for the modular construction of the functionalized bicyclo[4.1.0]heptyl azide intermediate 6 has been established. Key steps to achieve this asymmetric synthesis involved highly diastereoselective allylic oxidation and hydroboration reactions. The first family of compounds, 1a,b and 2, presents different natural nucleobases, whereas the second one 3a-e bears functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles. These derivatives have been tested as antiviral agents, and compound 3d has shown to display moderate activity against coxsackie B4 virus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II (cN-II) and ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) are enzymes involved in the nucleotide metabolism by dephosphorylating nucleoside monophosphates. Both enzymes are involved in cancer by modifying anticancer drug activity, cancer cell biology and immune modulation. METHODS We have modified lung cancer cells (NCI-H292) to become deficient for either or both enzymes using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique, and studied the implication of the two enzymes in the cellular response to different stress condition i.e. chemotherapeutic agents, hypoxia and nucleotide stress. RESULTS Our results show that there is no significant role of these enzymes in cell proliferation under hypoxic stress. Similarly, cN-II and CD73 are not involved in wound healing ability under CoCl2-mediated HIF-1α stabilization. Furthermore, our results show that CD73-deficiency is associated with increased apoptosis in response to 1600 μM adenosine, decreased sensitivity to mitomycin and enhanced sensitivity to vincristine. cN-II deficiency increased in vivo tumor growth and sensitivity to vincristine and mitomycin C. CONCLUSIONS Our study gives new insights into the biological roles of cN-II and CD73 under stress conditions in this particular cancer cell line. Further experiments will help deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed differences.

Abstract
Three series of nucleotide analogues were synthesized and evaluated as potential CD73 inhibitors. Nucleobase replacement consisted in connecting the appropriate aromatic or purine residues through a triazole moiety that is generated from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The first series is related to 4-substituted-1,2,3-triazolo-β-hydroxyphosphonate ribonucleosides. Additional analogues were also obtained, in which the phosphonate group was replaced by a bisphosphonate pattern (P-C-P-C, series 2) or the ribose moiety was removed leading to acyclic derivatives (series 3). The β-hydroxyphosphonylphosphonate ribonucleosides (series 2) were found to be potent inhibitors of CD73 using both purified recombinant protein and cell-based assays. Two compounds (2a and 2b) that contained a bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl or a naphthyl substituents proved to be the most potent inhibitors, with IC50 values of 4.8 ± 0.8 µM and 0.86 ± 0.2 µM, compared to the standard AOPCP (IC50 value of 3.8 ± 0.9 µM), and were able to reverse the adenosine-mediated immune suppression on human T cells. This series of compounds illustrates a new type of CD73 inhibitors.

Abstract
The synthesis of stable and potentially bioactive xylofuranosyl nucleoside analogues and potential sugar diphosphate or nucleotide mimetics comprising a 1,2,3-triazole moiety is reported. 3'-O-Methyl-branched N-benzyltriazole isonucleosides were accessed in 5-7 steps and 42-54 % overall yields using a Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 3-O-propargyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose with benzyl azide as key step. Related isonucleotides were obtained by 5-O-phosphorylation of acetonide-protected 3-O-propargyl xylofuranose and further "click" cycloaddition or by Staudinger-phosphite reaction of a 5-azido N-benzyltriazole isonucleoside. Hydroxy-, amino- or bromomethyl triazole 5'-isonucleosides were synthesized by thermal cycloaddition of 5-azido 3-O-benzyl/dodecyl xylofuranoses with propargyl alcohol, propargylamine or propargyl bromide. Better yields (82-85 %) were obtained when using propargyl alcohol and a high 1,4-regioselectivity was attained with propargyl bromide. Further O/N-phosphorylation or Arbuzov reaction led to (triazolyl)methyl phosphates, phosphoramidates or phosphonates. The latter were converted into uracil nucleoside 5'-(triazolyl)methyl phosphonates as prospective nucleoside diphosphate mimetics.

Abstract
This review article is devoted to the so-called fleximer nucleoside analogs, containing two or more planar moieties in the heterocyclic base, connected by a bond that permits rotation. Such analogs have been proposed as molecular probes for detecting enzyme–substrate interactions and studying the transcription and translation of nucleic acids, but subsequently have attracted the interest of researchers by their antiviral and antitumor activity. The methods used in the synthesis of such compounds, along with their structural features and also biological activity are considered in this review.

Abstract
Over the past few years, nucleosides have maintained a prominent role as one of the cornerstones of antiviral and anticancer therapeutics, and many approaches to nucleoside drug design have been pursued. One such approach involves flexibility in the sugar moiety of nucleosides, for example, in the highly successful anti-HIV and HBV drug tenofovir. In contrast, introduction of flexibility to the nucleobase scaffold has only more recently gained significance with the invention of our fleximers. The history, development, and some biological relevance for this innovative class of nucleosides are detailed herein.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of nucleoside 5'-monophosphates to the corresponding nucleosides and inorganic phosphate is catalysed by 5'-nucleotidases, thereby contributing to the control of endogenous nucleotide turnover and affecting the fate of exogenously delivered nucleotide- and nucleoside-derived therapeutics in cells. A recently identified nucleotidase cNIIIB shows preference towards 7-methylguanosine monophosphate (m7GMP) as a substrate, which suggests its potential involvement in mRNA degradation. However, the extent of biological functions and the significance of cNIIIB remains to be elucidated. Here, we synthesised a series of m7GMP analogues carrying a 1,2,3-triazole moiety at the 5' position as the potential inhibitors of human cNIIIB. The compounds were synthesised by using the copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) between 5'-azido-5'-deoxy-7-methylguanosine and different phosphate or phosphonate derivatives carrying terminal alkyne. The analogues were evaluated as cNIIIB inhibitors using HPLC and malachite green assays, demonstrating that compound 1a, carrying a 1,2,3-triazoylphosphonate moiety, inhibits cNIIIB activity at micromolar concentrations (IC50 87.8 ± 7.5 µM), while other analogues showed no activity. In addition, compound 1d was identified as an artifical substrate for HscNIIIB. Further characterization of inhibitor 1a revealed that it is poorly recognised by other m7G-binding proteins, eIF4E and DcpS, indicating its selectivity towards cNIIIB. The first inhibitor (1a) and unnatural substrate (1d) of cNIIIB, identified here, can be used as molecular probes for the elucidation of biological roles of cNIIIB, including the verification of its proposed function in mRNA metabolism.
